RLVG's Random 12 Roles

[RLVG]

I've decided to post my quite random notepad document of role suggestions that has been around for quite a while.
I won't ever post more role suggestions after this.

If some of these are suggested already, then just ignore them and uncredit me for that role.

You're allowed to edit the roles and make your own hopefully improved version and credit it to yourself.



Town

Spoiler : Time Mage :

Role :
Town
Time Mage

A magister practiced to manipulate time itself.



Abilities :
Change the Order of Night Actions of players.
One target may be slower, another faster.

Example :
Someone dies, get killed by two. Doctor heals first kill - target dies by 2nd kill.
Time Mage : Doctor comes after the two kills, healing the person back alive.

Cult is the last to act.
Time Mage : Cult would be the first to act.

Bulletproof vests are used before someone kills, protecting themselves.
Time Mage : Bulletproof Vests are used too late, ending up getting killed.

Disguiser replaces target after the target has been killed (by another).
Time Mage : Disguiser replaces a target first, and get killed.

Visitor (Invest/Kill) visits a veteran, veteran alerts first and Visitors dies.
Time Mage : Visitor visits Veteran before alert, gaining information or kill.

That would mean you can use the ability 4/6 days a row or 2/3 times overall if you spend both simmulately.

The excessive stalking requires alot of energy.

and every valuable information that are given.

Target someone to gain their research, and to let them know of you.

Only a maximun of (default: 3) clues are given per player.

If a disguiser or janitor cleans you of role,
they will be given the Last Will.

Random 2/3 of the 6 players are shown to you.

Player 1 : (Detective)
- Player 3 visited 7. (Night 2)

--- Player 15 visited 1. (Night 6)

Player 2 : (Investigator)

Due to the limited clues in total, you have to play carefull.
Targeting the wrong player may get yourself killed.

He may establish a group to talk during night.

What are the win conditions for the neutrals?

I like the first mafia role.

[Tensa]

Well you did a fault you writed town in red instead of mafia don't readed them all but I like the first town but mb he should be neutral cause it isn't good for town that gf kill before escort rb ^^

[RLVG]

What are the win conditions for the neutrals?

I like the first mafia role.

That may be discussed on, since Con Man / Cynical has a more evil way of surviving.

I would say a condition of remaining with the other neutrals or last standing... Both being difficult.

Fixed the text. As for Time Mage, I find it a bit difficult to survive as a neutral consindered it's both as helpfull or dangerous to all sides.

Beside, town should make a mistake and not be perfect. Consinder all the other roles like jailor, vigilante, escort, etc.

[Damus_Graves]

Most these roles seem overpowered to me

Con man seems to be too much like Disguiser and time mage is OP as hell.
Captain is the best here by far

Con Man does not kill the target and instead disguises as it's role - neutralized if the target you disguised as dies, and with the ability to constantly change disguises - it can be used to WIFOM everyone as long there's invests around. You don't steal his name - only role-information for invests.



Time Mage might be OP, but at first you don't know what others are - and second, if you learn roles then you would have to play differently so that you don't get tricked to benefit the non-town.

It's equally as helpfull and dangerous to everyone, it depends how it is played. If it's too overpowered - could invite with limited uses.

[Damus_Graves]

Limited uses seems fair.

Con Man's goal of survival would be easy as hell.
And i dont see how he can help evil neutrals win if thats his goal

[RLVG]

Con Man's goal of survival would be easy as hell.

Or is it?
If you disguise as the wrong role, you will be invested and lynched.

To be sure, you would need to investigate - which causes a few days to be wasted.

If they realise Investigator are not possible after all, another lynch for consig suspect.

If the targeted player dies, your disguise is removed and you would have to spend another night to disguise yourself - being open to your true self, a smart invest may see the changes and lynch you.



The killer to the whole this? You're not immune, can be roleblocked and killed.



Perhaps the goal could consist of being on a tie or sole survivor which would cause it to be quite hard - no option to kill and instead rely on maf/town/other neutrals to lynch.



Edit : Edited to make it easier to understand. Disguiser doesn't kill or carry a name.
